Memorable DVD Finds
Just picked up the 1932 Scarface staring Paul Muni(disc and case both in pristine condition) from the boxset at a used dvd place for $8.99. Couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it on the shelf. I was almost going to pick up the Scarface boxset at one point just to check it out.
So I was wondering, what are some of your memorable finds/buys?

Finding Little Shop of Horrors w/alternate ending right after the recall. The guy rang it up and said it was supposed to be recalled but then said oh who cares and sold it to me.
As for bargains, way too many to list as there is a local used cd/dvd store that has fantastic deals and gets new releases in all the time (I.E. The Looney Tunes Golden collection for $29.99).

Didn't get it, but saw the remastered widescreen version of The Ten Commandments with Charlton Heston, in DD 5.1, at a pawn shop for $5.

Finding Alien at Blockbuster was a major find for me. I was worried I would have to buy the boxed set. Aliens is ok but the other 2 are definately not worth buying in my opinion. Another great find for me was finding 2 Girls and a Guy in the bargain bin at The Future Shop ($9).

Those were from the big Suncoast price mistake back in July. Hard to beat those.
